After dedicating all news coverage all the time to yesterday's Royal Baby news, the BBC is now reflexively covering how some people are sick of all the Royal Baby news.   Just calm down everyone.

Watch it.   Although the lead character is kind of exhausting in his repeated failure to do the right thing.

Ordinarily a percentage increase is expressed in terms of the starting amount; so a 100% increase is a doubling.

Wednesday Wot's on tonight: unofficial UK freeview version:
Home Grown: The Crow Road ep3 (10.30 bbc4).

I was wondering that last week.   Badults was much as expected, like if one of the tasks on The Apprentice was to organise a generic student-y british flatshare sitcom in 36 hours or less.   I predict 8 seasons.

Tuesday Wot's on tonight: unofficial UK version:

The thing about someone going out of their way to get you mad, is that it's really maddening.

There is a distance at which a school desk will protect you from the blast of a nuclear warhead.   It's just quite a big distance.

"Then what do you do Walt?   You set fire to it?!"

I watched Burton and Taylor and enjoyed it more than I expected really.   But it makes me wonder if we're going to be watching Aniston-Pitt-Jolie in 30 years (presumably as an interactive hologram).

Monday What's On Tonight: unofficial UK freeview edition

Wot's on this weekend: unofficial UK freeview version:
Home Grown: The White Queen ep 5 (Sun 9pm BBC1).   Being based on real life, the plot is rather convoluted and arbitrary.   But the characters are fascinating.   The bit I could do without is the magic stuff.   I understand that a case can be made these people…

Oi, sling yer 'ook!

I've been doing these all week.   We get a lot of US shows so I made it a rule to select an actual uk production every day, but I've found it's not as hard as I initially thought.

Thursday Wot's on tonight: unofficial UK freeview version:
Home Grown: Run ep4 (10pm C4): Final tale of this well acted, nicely written, totally depressing 3-colours-style drama.

Wot's on tonight: unofficial UK freeview version:
Home Grown: Run ep3 (10pm C4): Ep1 was about murder, ep2 had rape and torture, tonight's story is about a happy-go-lucky ice cream saleman.   Just kidding, it's about a heroin addict.   Also, The Crow Road ep2 (10.30pm BBC4).   At least the people in Banks's stories…

What's happening now is I'm failing to refresh my browser before posting, and so stepping on other people's jokes.

The Happening?

Just isolating him from the rest of us will have to do for now.
